Philadelphia Eagles name seven players as team captains for 2026 season

The Philadelphia Eagles announced their seven captains for the 2026 NFL season on Thursday. Head coach Nick Sirianni selected quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley, linebacker Zack Baun, wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata alongside defensive tackle Jordan Davis. While most of the group has served in leadership roles previously, Jordan Davis earns the honor for the first time following a 2025 campaign where he recorded 72 tackles and 4.5 sacks. Jalen Hurts remains the longest-tenured captain, marking his sixth consecutive season in the role. The roster group consists of four offensive players and three defensive players. The selections follow a series of offseason moves, including a long-term contract for Jordan Davis after his breakout performance last year.
